2020 Lexus UX vs 2020 Acura RDX
April 23 2020, Lexus Laval
The Lexus UX is a luxury subcompact crossover that offers excellent efficiency, utility, and value. It stretches the boundaries of what crossovers offer in this class, including both gas-only and hybrid power options. The crossover market is full of competition. However, the UX proves itself even when compared to advanced competitors such as the 2020 Acura RDX.
The value proposition of the 2020 Lexus UX
It isn’t easy to access luxury brand crossovers. The Lexus UX, with all of its capabilities and amenities, breaks the price and value barrier. When it is compared to the Acura RDX, the result is quite impressive.
The entry UX 200 FWD starts off this series with an MSRP of $40,000, which is nearly $7,000 less than the entry-level RDX. The savings doesn’t stop after you leave the dealership, but continues throughout the life of the vehicle.
The UX 200 FWD achieves a fuel consumption rating of 8.0/6.3 L/100 km (city/highway), whereas the base RDX burns a significant 11.0/8.6 L/100 km. The savings in weekly fuel costs alone elevates the UX’s value to a level that is far above the RDX.
If you think the UX 200 FWD stands out, you probably haven’t learned about the UX 250h AWD. With an MSRP of $42,790, it not only starts at $4,000 less than the base RDX, but you also catapult to a much higher value level with hybrid efficiency - something you will find nowhere in the RDX line.
The 250h achieves a breathtaking 5.7/6.2 L/100 km fuel consumption rating, and you’ll cover nearly twice the distance in the city on the same amount of fuel as the RDX.
